LEDGER 09: TEXAS CHILDREN'S HOUSTON OPEN
STATUS: VERIFIED PERFORMANCE AUDIT
TO: Club15 Syndicate Members
DATE: March 30, 2026
SUBJECT: Houston Performance Attribution: Trajectory Arbitrage & High-Hands Scrambling
I. THE THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK
The Texas Children's Houston Open served as the definitive test of Trajectory Control and Decision Science on Tom Doak’s shaved-ice green surrounds. Our primary thesis prioritized the "Low-Flight Wedge" to pierce the 60% humidity ("Atmospheric Weight") and "High-Hands Pitching" to neutralize the "Velcro" effect of the short-grass runoffs.
Primary Factor: Vertical Stop vs. Spin-Control.
Secondary Factor: Strategic Putter Avoidance from tight lies.
II. DEFINITIVE ASSET ALLOCATION LEDGER
The 10.0-unit institutional portfolio marked to the Sunday finish at Memorial Park.
ASSET | MARKET | UNITS | RESULT | RETURN | STATUS |
Min Woo Lee | Top 10 | 2.5u | T3 (-15) | 6.90u | WIN (+176) |
Ben Griffin | Top 20 | 1.5u | T28 (-7) | 0.00u | LOSS |
Tony Finau | Top 10 | 2.0u | T39 (-6) | 0.00u | LOSS |
Sungjae Im | Top 10 | 2.5u | T60 (-1) | 0.00u | LOSS |
Wyndham Clark | Top 20 | 1.5u | CUT (+2) | 0.00u | LOSS |
TOTAL | 10.0u | 6.90u |
NET WEEK YIELD: -31.0%
Institutional Note: The week resulted in a drawdown despite the elite podium finish of our Stability Anchor (Min Woo Lee). While Lee validated the "Low-Flight" model, the concurrent collapse of our Top-10 corridor assets (Finau/Im) created a capital deficit.
III. PERFORMANCE ATTRIBUTION & RISK MITIGATION
The "Low-Flight" Anchor: Min Woo Lee (T3) validated the "Sawed-off" wedge intent. His ability to control spin in high humidity was the portfolio’s primary engine, returning 2.7x his allocated units.
The "Velcro" Trap: Ben Griffin (T28) and Sungjae Im (T60) struggled with distance control as the afternoon humidity increased surface friction. This confirms our v17.0 adjustment to weight Pitching-Trajectory 2x higher than Texas-Wedge efficiency in humid coastal environments.
Wedge Fatigue Audit: Wyndham Clark (CUT) remains flagged for terminal Week 6 fatigue. His proximity dispersion widened by an additional 12% in Houston, confirming his "Fade" status until the post-Masters reset.
